I have been to Bella Vita twice. and found the food an service very good. I will keep on going. I found it a friendly place, even when very busy. Both times I visited it was very busy, to me that speaks for itself!
I will be back.
What can I say except that we have been there a few times and I can say now that we will NOT be going back. Honestly the food is sooo pedestrian at best, at worst it is cooked with the same passion as someone who has been cooking there for too long! The atmosphere, how does early '80's brass, dusty rose and hunter green grab ya? Honestly, this town needs a few more upscale restaurants to teach this one a lesson.
